This invention relates to new and advantageous improvements in toypistols for discharging rubber bands and like projectiles. I

An object of the invention comprehends the provision of a sight for thearticleof ordnance. 1

Another object of the invention contemplates a slide mounting for thesight. I

An additional object of the invention consists of a trigger constructionfor the toy eng'ageable with the projectile carried by the sight. r

\Vith the above and otherobjects in view,

the invention further consists of the following novel featuresanddetails .of construction, to be hereinafter more fully descrlbed,illustrated in the accompanying drawlng and pointed out in the appendedclaims.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a rear end elevation of the invention. 7 Figure4 is avertical horizontal sectional view taken ,on line 44 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing in detail wherein like characters of referencedenote cor-. responding parts, the reference character 10 indicatesthehandle or stock of atoy article of ordnance having abarrel 11 andwhich is adapted to simulate, in effect, an

automatic pistol.

The sight, such as indicated at 12, for the toy pistol, is raised'for anappreciable distance above the upper surface of the barrel 11 as bestshown inFig-' ure 4 of the drawing.

An extension or tongue 13 carried by and depending from the undersurface of the disposed within the upper side of and ad.

jacent the outermost extremity of said bar-v nel 14, is engaged at itsopposite end with the adjacent end ofthe extension or tongue 13 for thesight 12, substantially as illustrated in Figure :2 of the; drawing. 1-

5 A lug. 17 ofelongated flattenedforma tion, is extended horizontallythrough the tongue or extension. 13 and has its respective endsprojected for. appreciable 1 1distances--beyond the outer surfaces ofsaid extension. for final disposition within elongated slots or.

raceways 18 in the barrel ll andespecially those portions thereofforming the side walls of the channel or groove 14.

From the foregoing, it will be noted that, a slide mounting is providedfor the sight and which is induced, by thextension of the ,spring 15, tooccupy a position adjacent the, forward end-ofthechannel. 1

The triggerconstruction comprises a trig-1 ger arm or lever 18 pivotallymounted, as indicated atl9, between spaced ears 20 projecting forappreciable distances beyond the rear side edge of the butt, stockorhandle 10, and preferably at an intermediate point in the lengththereof. "A springleaf 21, carried upon the butt or handle. 10 betweenthe ears 20, is bent upon itself and sprung at its op-. positeendagainst theinner surface or side of the lever, or trigger 18", in.the manner shown in Fig'ure'l of :the drawing. Necessarily, the oppositeand free end of the le-, ver or trigger 18' is forced or otherwiseinduced against. the corner or point, of intersectionbetween the butt orhandle and the barrel. rubber band, inathe form of a stripor of annularformation, as indicated; at. 22, is initiallylooped about the forwardend of the sight 12 whereas the remaining rearwardly extendingextremities. 1 thereof;
